Electroplating is a process that uses electricity to deposit a thin layer of metal onto the surface of a conductive part. The item is submerged in a solution containing metal ions, and direct current is applied between the part (cathode) and a metal anode. This causes metal ions to transfer from the solution and bond to the part’s surface.
Electroplating dates back to the early 1800s and became widely adopted during the industrial revolution. It is now used across countless industries including aerospace, medical, automotive, jewelry, electronics, and tooling. The process enhances corrosion resistance, improves wear properties, and provides aesthetic finishes such as chrome, gold, nickel, or copper.
The type of metal plated, the thickness of the deposit, and the required finish all depend on the chemistry and electrical control used during the process.
Effective electroplating relies on precisely controlled DC power. The rectifier must supply stable voltage and current to match the specific bath chemistry, part geometry, and plating thickness requirements. Poor power control can lead to uneven deposits, pitting, or excessive waste.
American CRS Equipment supports electroplating operations with rectifiers built for repeatability, process stability, and energy efficiency. Our systems are suited for manual, semi-automated, and fully automated plating lines, offering advanced controls for both high- and low-current applications.
